His position is in doubt
If Ricardo Ferretti does not win today, or at least does not advance to the next round, he could be out of Cruz Azul, although Conejo Pérez indicated that he expects Tuca's project to be a long-term one.
To recover
Atlanta United not only lost, but was shown up and beaten by Inter Miami and today they need to get back on track to win, as a draw is enough as long as they win the extra point on penalties.
Start
La Máquina del Cruz Azul and Atlanta United are looking for their ticket as second in their group when they meet this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

Key player Atlanta United
He has already faced a world champion with Argentina and now Thiago Almada will be the second world champion to face La Máquina, where his ingenuity in midfield and good technique, especially with mid-range shots and free kicks, could tip the scales in his team's favor and guarantee the three points at home.
Key player Cruz Azul
He was absent for the first three days of Mexican soccer due to his time with the Mexican National Team and, despite last week's loss against Inter Miami, Uriel Antuna was a determining factor in the offense, generating unbalance on the flanks and scoring the only goal for the Cementero, which is why the "Brujo" will be the player to watch for this Saturday's away match.

Atlanta United: take advantage of home advantage
After Tuesday's game against Inter Miami, Atlanta United does not want to leave behind this unbeatable opportunity to qualify for the Round of 16 and lift a title again, as they did a few years ago in MLS under Tata Martino. It should be remembered that this will be their first home game of the tournament and perhaps their last if they fail to win.
Cruz Azul: last chance to win
Despite the fact that Cruz Azul has been playing good soccer at times, the team's situation due to bad results has increased the pressure on Ricardo Ferretti, who has not been able to win in July and must shake off the bad pressure by winning this Sunday. It is worth remembering that they started with three defeats in the Apertura 2023 of Liga MX and, in their presentation during the Leagues Cup, they lost 2-1 at the last minute against Inter Miami with a goal by Lionel Messi, despite having played an almost perfect 45 minutes, where they had many chances and were unable to finish their chances in front of the opponent's goal.
The Kick-off
The Cruz Azul vs Atlanta United match will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 7:00 pm ET.
